EcCo Lite v0.9.9: Missing export variable "pbs_trap_hold_critters" in gl_pbs_damage_mod

[dekrus]

Import variable 'pbs_trap_hold_critters' is not exported by any script in EcCo 0.9.9 lite.
In combats with many critters / many turns, the debug log shows:
Error during execution: External variable pbs_trap_hold_critters does not exist
Then it starts spamming:
Error during execution: pushShortStack: Stack overflow

This may eventually lead to a crash with a memory read error at address 0x4efb51.
The stack overflow may not be directly caused by the missing external variable pbs_trap_hold_critters, but when recompiling gl_pbs_damage_mod with:
variable pbs_trap_hold_critters := 0;
instead of:
import variable pbs_trap_hold_critters;

neither Error during execution: External variable pbs_trap_hold_critters does not exist nor the stack overflow occur.

Tested on: Fallout ET TU + sfall 4.4.9.1 + EcCo 0.9.9 lite (no other mods).
Even if the stack overflow is not directly related to the missing imported var, I still suggest fixing the import issue :)

Thanks for the report, need to think of a solution. I wanted to add an opcode to check if export variable exists or change this behavior, but it's easier to do with CE.. so until those glory days come, need to work around this somehow.

I can suggest this for arrays, I'm now using save\load_array (and array_exists) instead of messing with import/export vars. Works fine.

That's a use case for saved arrays I wasn't anticipating! Although as a perfectionist I don't like this solution because saved arrays get saved into save game (hence the name) and I want to do it only when I really have to. Since traps are not part of EcCo Lite, I need to cut this code out somehow. Maybe with a preprocessor flag.
